A lot has been reported in the press just a while ago concerning the bingo industry singing the blues as a result of the anti cigarette law in Britain. Conditions have grown so bad that in Scotland the Bingo industry has called for huge aid to assist in keeping the businesses from going bankrupt. However will the internet variation of this quintessential game present a reprieve, or might it never compare to its bricks and mortar equivalent?

Bingo has been an familiar game usually enjoyed by the "blue haired" generation. In any case the game recently had seen a recent return in popularity with younger people deciding to hit the bingo parlors rather than the bars on a Friday night. This is all about to be destroyed with the legislating of the anti cigarette law around England and Wales.

Players will no longer be permitted to smoke whilst marking numbers. Starting in the summer of ‘07 every public place will not be allowed to permit smoking in their buildings and this includes Bingo parlours, one of the most common places where many people like to smoke.

The results of the anti smoking law can already be felt in Scotland where cigarettes are already not permitted in the bingo parlors. Players have plunged and the industry is beyond a doubt struggling for to stay alive. But where did all the players go? Surely they haven’t abandoned this classic game?

The answer is on the web. Gamblers are now realizing that they can play bingo in front of their computer at the same time enjoying a cocktail and cigarette and in the end, enjoy big cash rewards. This is a recent phenomenon and has happened bordering on perfect with the anti cigarette law.

Of course wagering on online could never replace the social portion of going over to the bingo hall, but for a group of men and women the rules have left a number of bingo players with no choice.
